SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables engineers to quickly understand the risks introduced by a pull request by analyzing the diff between two git refs, anchoring findings to exact files and lines, and summarizing actionable insights.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diff-based risk analysis: identify changes that could break builds, violate contracts, or introduce security concerns, with per-file context.
  • Blast Radius and risk scoring: classify changes into CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW, and propose targeted remediation or rollback steps.
  • PR decision support: generate structured reports that guide reviewers and developers on what to fix before merge, including test gaps and rollback considerations.

Quick Start

Provide a structured risk assessment for the latest PR by diffing the two refs and anchoring findings to specific files and lines.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a pull request diff for risk in a Java Spring Boot project?

Review a pull request diff by analyzing git refs to identify build breaks or contract violations in Java Spring Boot code, anchoring findings to exact file paths and line numbers for traceable risk assessment.

What is blast radius classification in code review?

Blast radius classification in code review categorizes diff changes into CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW risk levels, evaluating the potential impact scope of modifications to guide targeted remediation and rollback planning.

How do I identify test gaps from a git diff before merging?

Identify test gaps from a git diff by analyzing the changes between two refs to detect modified code paths lacking corresponding test coverage, generating structured reports to guide developers on what to fix before merge.

Can I assess pull request risk using the last 10 commits instead of specific git refs?

Yes, you can assess pull request risk by analyzing the diff from the last 10 commits instead of specific git refs, producing the same structured risk assessment with findings anchored to exact files and lines.

Does this code review approach work for non-Java projects?

This code review approach is specifically designed for Java and Spring Boot projects. Its diff analysis, risk scoring, and blast radius classification are tailored to the structures and contracts found in Java Spring applications.

How do I plan a rollback for a high-risk code change in a Spring Boot application?

Plan a rollback for high-risk Spring Boot changes by reviewing the structured risk assessment generated from the diff, which classifies risk severity and proposes targeted remediation and rollback steps for CRITICAL and HIGH changes.
